Excuses are like buttholes...
Posted by starynite - 08/03/09, 12:08 amHello ANGELS,
First of all, I hope and pray that you are doing well. I have been absent from the site for a while, but I want you to know that you have still been in my thoughts and prayers. I have not forgotten about you, even though I'm sure it might have looked like it.
In high school my swim coach used to tell us, "Excuses are like buttholes--everyone has one." I'd like to apologize for my absence. I don't want to seem like i'm making excuses, but I do feel like you deserve an explaination why.
I did, what i now know in hindsight, a very stupid thing. Something that I had previously begged and pleaded with others NOT to do: I went off of ALL my medications. Cold turkey.
Needless to say, I suffered some serious reprecusions, both physically and mentally. But thankfully, and by the Grace of God, I am doing about a thousand times better now!!!
I'd really like to hear how you are doing. Any news, questions,updates, triumphs, concerns, etc. Also, at this time I'd also like to ask if anyone would like to become an administrator for the group, just in case God forbid anything like this were to happen again.
I hope again that you are doing well, and that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for my prolonged absence. I feel like I have let you and all the ANGELS down. I pray that you are doing well, and I look forward to hearing from you soon! God bless you!
With Love,
Starynite
I went off my meds bout 3 wks ago too! I know how you feel- in a way. I am still detoxing- but the Lord knows my circumstances & my heart. I am feeling a bit better...well...its actually been a roller coaster ride! i dont know how long until i feel all the way better- that is in the Lord's hands&I know I have to do my part too:) This is one of the hardest things I have every had to do! But with the Lord's help I know I can do it! This is definintly an expreience that I will never forgot. I have been & am learning so much about myself .my med's, most importantly about God(Jesus is the only way!!) Oh and about my daughter too:)
I DO NOT recommend anyone going off their meds without there doc's approval( know though that you will NEVER get your pdoc's approval.So if it is something you are considering you need to see different doc.)
I would NEVER recommend it - going cold turkey - but sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do- So ppl dont judge. Remember the golden rule :) " Do to others what you would have them do to you" :)
I am glad to hear you are well :) Starynite :)
In my eyes you dont need to ask me to forgive you - thats betweenyou & the Lord :) but if you insist ...I forgive you:) lol <3 Who would i be if i didnt? Not like Jesus-thats for sure. And isnt that what this life is all about..to be filled with the Love of God...Jesus - to be more like Him in every way:) So of course i forgive you I would be a hypocrite if i didnt.
I love you my sister in Christ
Ps Keep in touch :)
